About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“Andrea takes the time to really get to know your dog and his needs! Not only did she provide a fun day for him, she also worked on training commands and leash walking. If you haven’t booked with her yet...you’re missing out!”
“Clifford did an amazing job watching my dog, Zebo, today! From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time. He came back happy, energetic, and acting like he had puppy fever again — and he’s 11! 😂 That alone tells me he was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zebo was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Clifford gave him and would absolutely trust him again for doggy day care. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend dog sitting with Pamela and Marshall! :) We received pictures and videos throughout the day, which really helped since it was Bailey’s first time without us. He came home happy, and so are we. Thank you!!”
“Kyle was absolutely wonderful! He helped me and my family out in a pinch!! He treated our dogs like his own and was an amazing communicator! He went out of his way to pick up our girls and sent many pictures. Highly recommend and we will use him again! 😊”
“This was Susan's first time taking care of Coco and I could not have been happier. She sent many videos and photos to keep me apprised of Coco's progress throughout the day. Coco is learning how to interact with other dogs and was a little skittish with Susan's dog when we arrived and Susan was very patient. I felt like Susan treated Coco like she was her own and that gave me so much comfort. I am very pleased and will look forward to entrusting Susan with Coco's care in the future!”
“Absolutely delighted with the care my pitbull Tito received from Sophie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment Tito met her, he was all tail wags. She took him on multiple outdoor adventures, including a fantastic 1-hour hike, which I'm sure he thoroughly enjoyed. It's clear that she treated Tito like one of her own, allowing him to socialize and play with her dogs. The level of activity and exercise he got was impressive – he was happily exhausted and even took a nap as soon as we got home! Not only did she provide exceptional care, but she also shared valuable recommendations for the best treats and toys, showing her genuine dedication to the well-being of our furry friends. Tito can't wait for his next visit, and neither can I! Huge thanks to a dog sitter who goes above and beyond! ??”
“Albert was fantastic! Best rover experience i have had. Sends numerous pictures and videos throughout the day with updates. Clearly has a passion for dogs and loves taking care of them. Treats your fur baby like his own. Thanks again!”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life and my family. I am retired now, so my schedule is very flexible. My husband and I lead an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog is taken care of like family. We have a large backyard with access from a doggy door. We will keep you posted with photos and feedback on a daily basis. We have raised all breeds over our years as dog owners and have been blessed with wonderful senior rescues. Since my husband and I are both retired we are very flexible in our schedules and should be able to accommodate any timeframe that is needed. Our backyard is spacious and fenced in. There is access through a doggy door if that is negotiable for your dog. It can also be blocked if if required. We are very close to a beautiful park, which is wonderful for some nice long walks. We recently lost our 10 year old bull terrier to cancer and so our house feels empty without our beloved Walter. We will make sure your furry friend feels like family.
“Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.”
About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.

For boardings: We can board one large dog, or 2 medium sized dogs at a time. I accept all clients from the greater Cleveland area.

For Walks/Drop-Ins: I take photos and send a little story about how your pups day/walk went. Your pets health and safety is always my number one priority. I prefer spending time with them indoors during extreme cold or heat.
“Mary is so kind and truly loves animals. She was so kind and patient with my little puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day to ease my anxiety of leaving my dog for the first time. She also is very flexible in her schedule which is exactly what I was looking for. Excited to have Mary watch her again!”
“Erica is so patient, easy to coordinate with, and goes above and beyond to make sure Lucky has a fun day! She takes photos to send which makes me feel reassured he had a good day with her! thanks for everything! I appreciate it and will reach back out soon!!”
About: I have a high-energy dog that has prepared me in all aspects of pet care! I am well-versed in on- and off-leash exercise and have plenty of ideas for indoor enrichment activities. Having raised my own dog from 6 weeks old, I’m familiar with all of the accidents that can happen when pets are home alone. I’ve also cared for elderly and medically-complex dogs. I work remotely during the school year and have summers off. My work is in pacific time, giving me plenty of time in the morning to take your pet on a walk, play outside, or just keep them company. Of course, when I’m off in the summer, I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I am open to the safety, trust, and environment guidelines set by each pet owner. As the owner of a needy dog, I understand that each family has different preferences for keeping their home and pets safe!
“I needed care for Lewey during the day when I had some things to do. Austin was available to watch Lewey. Very dependable, and he sent me a picture to update me on how Lewey was doing. It really makes me feel relaxed that Lewey is so excited when he sees Austin coming to the car to greet him. So thankful for this service as I don’t like to leave my dog at home alone for long hours especially on a beautiful day.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bratenahl
We were traveling with our 11 yr old dog Tucker (lab mix) and had some tests and appointment at the Cleveland Clinic. Marcella Clifford’s wife did wonderful job managing our senior dog that likes to collect sniffs in their large fenced in yard. They have a beautiful home and yard 5 mins from the clinic. They both certainly know how to manage their furry visitors. Thank you
Clifford did an amazing job watching my dog, Zebo, today! From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time. He came back happy, energetic, and acting like he had puppy fever again — and he’s 11! 😂 That alone tells me he was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zebo was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Clifford gave him and would absolutely trust him again for doggy day care. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bratenahl on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bratenahl commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 579 sitters in Bratenahl, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
